Pretty tough judgment on your part Pete. I'm no vegan, and certainly not a
Jainist.  I draw the line at parasites, and have no love for polio,
smallpox, or varroa.  But I do treat my bees as respectfully and ethically
as possible.

With great power comes great responsibility. Some of us feel that respect
for the Earth and ALL of its creatures is an ethical requirement that goes
with our power as humans as we reshape the Earth and the environment.
